“I walked down Hall Street yesterday and at every intersection of Liberty, Oglethorpe and Broughton, the stench of horse urine was so overwhelming it was disgusting. I tried to eat outside at Collins Quarter, but all three tables got up to move inside because it smells so bad. Why do we allow this in Savannah? Do horses trump the rights of residence?”

“I would Iike to thank Capt. Ashley Brown and his crew, the police officers for putting the flag back up during Hurricane Irma that blew down in the road on the way to Tybee.”

“Can anyone tell me who to contact to install a standby generator in my house?”

“Finally, the most interesting newspaper in years, thank you!”

“Candler Hospital closed their parking lot and posted a guard there during the hurricane. That wasn’t good for those of us looking for a place to park our cars.”

“Why do some people try to take advantage of seniors? Do they think we all are senile with open wallets? Be kind to us, because one day you may be a senior, too. It comes sooner than you think.”

“To the person who was talking about God sending hurricanes because of Donald Trump: First of all, God does not send hurricanes. If he did, what do you think your punishment should be for disrespecting the president of the United States?”

“I think Mark Streeter is a brilliant political cartoonist. There are some regulars who write letters to the editorial section who irritate me, so I avoid them. Everyone has an opinion; to each his own.”

“Hey, Mr. Streeter, after you and your Trump-hater friends get through reading Hillary’s new book, you should all get together and have a sore loser pity party.”

“For everyone complaining about their garbage not being picked up until this week: people in Texas, Florida, the Caribbean and some in Georgia lost everything, including their lives … so get over it.”

“Israel sends a team of people to help in catastrophes around the world. The earlier caller was right in that you don’t hear about it because Israel does its good deeds without fanfare or publicity.”
